So, as much as I liked the Pearl I really would like a full qwerty this time around and I have been lookin at the 8700g on eBay (around $80, not bad. I wish I could afford a curve, but that's a whole other story). So I guess my questions are:
Comin off of a pearl is this a good replacement?
I know there's no trackball and it uses the trackwheel, does that wear out easily?
Also, does that 4.5.0.55 OS work on the 8700g?
Is there any difference between 8700 models like the 8700g and 8700c or are the different letters just for different carriers and nothing else?
Oh, and final question, is there any sort of SD slot?
Anyways, thanks for any advice, I'd really appreciate it!
